Why isn't Unreal Tournament back online?

[sega dude]

Why isn't the Dreamcast version of Unreal Tournament back online? Will it ever be back online? Is it being worked on? I just got a copy of the Dreamcast version of this game and I would love to see this game online again. I understand that it's not easy and sometimes not possible to bring Dreamcast games back online. I wanted to ask because there must be a reason why the Dreamcast version of Unreal Tournament is not back online.

Prolly because no one has the software or source code to do so :p

Here explains what's going on with UT. :p, it's still in the stages of trying to acquire some of the original server software, and that's not even considering the reworking of that software that would probably need to be done, even if it is found, so, while possible, it's still a ways off at best. :p

Fantastic game
Dreamcast was so lucky to have such great fps, such as quake 3, unreal tournyment and outtrigger, all of which have online functionality
Amazing really
